Configuring threshold settings

In the Threshold Configuration tab, you can configure thresholds for one or more attributes. These thresholds are implemented when the policy that contains the BMC ProactiveNet Entuity Server Monitoring is activated.

You can also configure and implement these thresholds in the BMC ProactiveNet Operations Console. See Changing thresholds.
 For complete details regarding the different kinds of thresholds, see the BMC ProactiveNet User Guide in PDFs.
